MSc TIP AY2023 Cohort Celebrates End of Course

The NTU Entrepreneurship Academy Master of Science in Technopreneurship and Innovation programme (MSc TIP) focuses on educating and nurturing leaders in the entrepreneurship ecosystem through knowledge acquisition, mindset cultivation and skillset development.

As a year of intensive studies drew to a close, the MSc TIP AY23 cohort gathered for a celebratory dinner on 24th May 2024. The evening provided an opportunity to reflect on their achievements, celebrate their newfound knowledge and network, and look forward to the exciting entrepreneurial ventures ahead.

A Year of Transformation

After a year immersed in MSc TIP, students enjoyed a multitude of opportunities and transformative experiences. These included mentorship clinics, Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Project Challenge with Babson College, the Kumar Sustainability and Innovation Prize 2024, guest lectures from Silicon Valley founders, and even a virtual exchange with HM University of Applied Sciences in Munich.

The end-of-course dinner also served as a celebration to the incredible accomplishments of AY2023 cohort. They have seamlessly transitioned from students to leaders, applying their newfound knowledge to real-world business challenges. 

A few inspiring examples include Zheng Han and her team, who emerged victorious in  KSIP 2024 by impressing the judges with their innovative approach to producing and marketing carbon negative concrete; Tai Xinyue, along with his team members, Zhou Lei, Zhou Zeyu, Li Yueqi and Chen Me, launching SmartStar Technology, expanding their intelligent solutions footprint to southeast Asia; Yvonne’s creation of the Livingo app, which was born from her own pain points, aiming to make finding and renting housing in Singapore and the region much easier and affordable.

These are just a few examples of the exceptional talent and entrepreneurial spirit that define the AY2023 MSc TIP cohort.
